MILAN (AP) — On Twitter, it's a playing out as battle of the hashtags: #boycottdolcegabbana vs. #boycotteltonjohn.

PARIS (AP) — France's health minister says she supports plans to criminalize the use of advertising with anorexic models in France.

We've seen it notably at Lanvin, Dries Van Noten — and now, here, at Kenzo's draped, voluminous and colorful fashion spectacle. It takes a lot to drag fashionistas out early on a Sunday morning to a venue on the outskirts of the city.

MILAN (AP) — Femininity is getting a rethink in Milan.
